It's not great.
The laugh tracks, for one. Do they really need to be in every single line? Most of the things they say are seriously unfunny.
Secondly, Regina's "pouting" face every time she tries to get someone to do something. It's incredibly annoying.
The kids don't know how to act, there are way too many Black stereotypes to be even remotely funny, and overall, it's just... predictable.
The only thing I actually sort of liked about this was the 'banter' between Lucretia and Bennie. But, it got a little repetitive and I could almost feel the insults coming after a while.
I don't know. Wanda Sykes: great actress. But to be honest, this was disappointing.

After the debacle called dad stop embarassing me (jamie fox) it was refreshing to finally have a good comedy with a cast who knows how to bring jokes over to the public and this is 50%thanks to the writers of this show.
People do not believe the negative reviews of trolls, this is definetely not o bad show and will be even better in the second season.
Give it a chance.

It picks up and is fun starting with episode 3. Wanda and Mike Epps exchanging zingers are the worth waiting for. It's fun, give it a chance.
This is really a great show! Very funny and experienced actors/comedians at their best. Check it out!!
